I've spent a long time studying world-class performers. Two characteristics I've noticed:

1. Consistency is emphasized more than short-term Intensity. They stack solid work month after month. Instead of trying to be heroes

2. They know how to flip the switch to compete. Instead of always being hypercompetitive, they can turn it on and off.
Consistency over short-term intensity:

We love the story of the heroic effort. The strava workout or all-nighter.

But the best performers resist that allure unless it's necessary.

They know that shooting for heroic efforts all the time is a recipe for burnout.
Instead of swinging for home runs every day, they just put the ball in play.

They focus on stacking good work week after week, month after month.

They understand that compounding interest applies to performance just as much as it does to finance.

A B+ effort repeated for a year beats an A+ effort that lasts a week.

Analysis | Wilfred Nancy

The former Columbus Crew manager has been confirmed as the new manager of Celtic

A bright managerial prospect who is experimenting with relational football

Iโ€™ve put together a thread of some of the concepts his side has used Image
Crew instigate an attack with the Escadinha Tabelando (Tabela Escadinha)

This involves players aligning diagonally towards goal and bouncing the ball back for the give + go

Players climb these escadinhas - ladders ๐Ÿชœ - to find progressions inside the block
Here they utilize an Escadinha Corta Luz

Crew players align diagonally and form emergent three in a line structures

The middle player dummies the ball or flicks it on to the teammate behind him

Diagonal perception is a key way Nancyโ€™s teams maximize affordances to combine

The "Application Layer" of AI just woke up.

For 12 months, the market has been obsessed with buying the shovels $NVDA

Yesterday, Salesforce $CRM finally proved someone is buying the gold.
This wasn't just an earnings beat. It was the first proof of concept for the "Agentic Economy."

Here is the breakdown ๐ŸงตSalesforce Agentforce official branding and logo. Visual representation of the shift from SaaS to Agentic AI in enterprise software. Highlights the new "Digital Worker" model vs legacy chatbots. Relevant to $CRM earnings, Artificial Intelligence, B2B Tech, and the 2025 Application Layer pivot.
The top-line revenue beat is great ($10.3B), but letโ€™s look at the adoption metrics for "Agentforce":

โ€ข Paid Deals: 9,500+ (Up 50% QoQ)

โ€ข Usage: Accounts in production up 70% QoQ.

โ€ข Volume: 3.2 Trillion tokens processed.

This is the difference between "Science Project" and "Enterprise Scale." Companies aren't just testing this, they are cutting checks.
@Benioff is successfully repositioning CRM from "Tools for People" to "Digital Labor."

The pitch is brutal but effective:

Microsoft Copilot is an Assistant (You chat, you work).

Salesforce Agentforce is an Employee (You assign a goal, it does the work).

Enterprises will pay for results, not chat windows with dubious applicability.

The Color Revolution Happening Inside the United States; it is farther along than you think, a thread:๐Ÿงต Image
If you want the full 7,000 word write up for this topic, please check out my Substack article here:

This thread traces the money. It maps the networks (including the link between the S6 and nonprofits). It exposes the doctrine. And it explains the November 18th video by six members of Congress in a way no one else has.

You are not ready for this.

Confidential documents show the inner workings of cocaine smuggling from Ecuador to Europe via fruit shipments โ€” and reveal some of the alleged top bananas ๐ŸŒ

Hereโ€™s how the documents connect cocaine, bananas, and a convicted Balkan drug lord. Image
In 2021, two alleged traffickers said on an encrypted message app that โ€œno one but themโ€ was allowed to smuggle cocaine in containers exported by Noboa Trading, according to Croatian prosecutorsโ€™ documents. Image
One of these alleged traffickers involved in loading the shipments was fugitive Nikola ฤorฤ‘eviฤ‡, according to docs obtained by @KRIKrs.

A separate gang headed by convicted Montenegrin drug lord Darko ล ariฤ‡ was allegedly responsible for offloading cocaine in Croatia, files say.

@TorahRight @WilliamWolfe @ThinkandReform That article is just radical libertarianism posing as "biblical law." Simply because there is allegedly no specific mention of immigration control in Old Testament law does not mean that every country must have open borders.
@TorahRight @WilliamWolfe @ThinkandReform A sojourner is much closer to a traveler or a guest, not an "immigrant." The passages about "one law", in context, do not mean that laws can never distinguish between citizens and non-citizens, because the Mosaic law itself makes distinctions based on nationality/ethnicity.
@TorahRight @WilliamWolfe @ThinkandReform The point is that the laws that were given to Moses were applicable to everyone, for example, it would be unjust for a judge to convict a non-Israelite based on only one witness.

WHOA: Predator spyware discovered in ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฐ#Pakistan.

+ a leak shows zero-click infections via... ads.

Yikes.

Here are some more damming revelations as Intellexa, the shady, sanctioned spyware supplier gets exposed by @AmnestyTech & partners.. /1Image
Image
2/ First, a mercenary spyware myth has just been busted.

Because the leak shows an Intellexa employee directly accessing a customer deployment.

Prior to the #PredatorFiles leak, spyware companies basically always claimed they couldn't access customer deployments & didn't know what was going on there.

They used this to avoid responsibility & claim ignorance when faced with abuses.Image
3/ And it gets crazier. The leak shows Intellexa casually accessing a core backbone of Predator deployment of a government customer.

Seemingly without the gov's knowledge.

Suggests that Intellexa can look over their shoulder & watch their sensitive targeting.

Huge counterintelligence nightmare for customers.

And a giant liability red-flag for intellexa.Image

In light of criticism Rachel Reeves has received for not telling us all in advance of the Budget about improved tax receipts, here is a salutary reminder of how Chancellor George Osborne handled his big surprise announcement in the November 2015 Spending Review. #Budget25 1/7
In his Summer 2015 Budget, George Osborne announced a major clampdown on tax credits. To his opponents he said: "Those who oppose any savings to Tax Credits will have to explain how on earth they propose to eliminate the deficit, let alone run a surplus and pay down debt". 2/7
It was a tough message he reinforced at Tory Party Conference in October, anticipating the November Spending Review: "There will be tough choices this autumn... We simply canโ€™t subsidise incomes with ever-higher welfare & tax credit bills the country canโ€™t afford", he said. 3/7

BREAKING: Macron warned Zelensky in a confidential European crisis call there was โ€œthe possibility that the USA will betray Ukraine on territorial issues, without clarity on security guarantees,โ€ creating โ€œa great danger,โ€ leaked documents show - Der Spiegel
Merz urged Zelensky to be โ€œextremely careful in the next days,โ€ adding that the Americans โ€œare playing games, both with you and with us,โ€ hinting at U.S. negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Finlandโ€™s President Stubb cautioned that Europe must not leave Zelensky โ€œalone with these guys,โ€ and NATO chief Rutte agreed: โ€œWe have to protect Wolodymyr.โ€
The call included leaders from France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Denmark, Norway, and top EU officials. Several participants insisted the U.S. must understand that decisions on frozen Russian assets are โ€œexclusivelyโ€ for the EU, with Merz later stressing that Europe cannot โ€œleave the decision to non-European states.โ€ Leaders also explored arranging a meeting with Witkoff and Kushner. Opinions differed on whether top leaders should attend: Meloni argued against it, while Stubb pushed to participate, saying, โ€œAt the moment we are out - but we need to get in.

The Zero-Cost Guide to Getting Your TIN

If you want to open a corporate bank account, apply for a government loan, or simply stay compliant, you need a Tax Identification Number (TIN).

Many agents will ask you to pay between โ‚ฆ5,000 and โ‚ฆ15,000 for this service. Do not pay. It is officially free.

Here is the step-by-step guide to doing it yourself from your phone or laptop.Image
Before you try to register, you must know this: you might already have a TIN.

The Joint Tax Board (JTB) has a system that automatically generates TINs for Nigerians who have a Bank Verification Number (BVN) or a National Identity Number (NIN).

You should verify this before starting a fresh application.
Go to the Joint Tax Board verification portal (search "JTB TIN Verification" on Google or use the official JTB link).

Select "TIN Verification" or "Check TIN." Enter your date of birth. Select your search criteria: Choose "BVN" or "NIN" or "Phone Number." Enter the corresponding number and click "Search."

@Pontifex I am in Nova Scotia to look for answers. I found them. Bank of Montreal opened in 1817, the China links established in 1818. I found the old bank in Lunenburg NS. The Epstein mess linked to Li Ka Shing via accountant Neil Baker. They exploited La Have and La Houge. Image

My old thread from 2019 shows how money flowed via China to Australiaโ€™s publisher Kerry Packerโ€™s son to Netanyahu as well as to Canada. Kerry Packer a man of interest who linked to Conrad Black. First this part:
And this is what I see in Canada with Britain. Conrad Black, the Tar Sands and the mess they made.
